A ski jumper travels down a slope and leaves the ski track moving in the horizontal direction with a speed of 29 m/s as in the figure. The landing incline below her falls off with a slope of 49 degrees. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s².
a) calculate the distance (d) she travels along the incline before landing. Answer in units of m.
b) determine how long the ski jumper is airborne. Answer in units of s.
c) what is the magnitude of the relative angle Ø with which the ski jumper hits the slope? Answer in units of degrees.
